Product Overview
The HV-RW are samplers intended for outdoor use. These products sample
suspended dust in the open face, and provide quantitative analysis of dust
concentration and composition. High-accuracy flow rate control is provided by a
differential pressure detection system, and instantaneous and cumulative flow rate
values are displayed digitally. Reductions in suction flow rate due to increased dust
collection are minimized thanks to a constant flow rate function. This product can be
used to collect airborne dust by attaching the through pipe. Similarly, it can also be
used to collect dioxins by attaching the shuttle tube (tube for polyurethane foam
attachment). It is capable of stable, high flow rate sampling, and so can be used under
a wide range of conditions as an airborne toxic substance sampler.

Features
z Fold up design makes movement and storage convenient.
z Capable of high accuracy flow rate control thanks to a differential pressure detection
system.
z The instantaneous and cumulative flow rate can be operated with 20 qC and 1
atmosphere correction, 25 qC and 1 atmosphere correction, 0 qC and 1 atmosphere
correction, or actual flow rate.
z Incorporates a constant flow rate function to minimize drops in the suction flow rate
accompanying increased suction pressure caused by sampling of dust, etc.
z A backlit touch panel is adopted to enable even more convenient operation.
z Two timer functions are provided for starting operations: a delay timer based on the
time, and a clock timer based on the calendar date. Two types of timer sampling for
ending operations are also available: a sampling timer based on the time, and a
volume timer based on cumulative flow rate. Manual operation without using the
timers is also possible.
z A brushless motor is adopted, minimizing dust generation and extending motor life.
z Noise reduction implemented.
z If a power outage occurs, the remaining sampling is continued automatically after the
power recovery.
z The high volume through pipe and shuttle tube for polyurethane foam attachment
are easy to attach.
z The polyurethane foam can be left in the shuttle tube for storage or conveyance,
shielding it from light and air (HV-RW for dioxins).
z Absolutely no grease is used in the sampling line.
z A sampling data recording function is provided. The past 5 sampling results can be
checked on the sampler. Data can also be retrieved by connecting a PC and entering
a communication command.

Error Displays
If an error occurs during operation, this product will log the error (See page 32.). Unless
the error involves the blower however, the blower will not stop, and operation will
continue.
If an error occurs, it will be indicated onscreen.

If the error is blinking, this indicates that it is occurring right now, whereas if the error is
lit, this indicates that it occurred previously. A blower error is always lit.
The internal battery run-down icon blinks when the battery power is low, and is lit when
the battery is completely dead.

* When the power is turned ON, a power error is displayed in the error item field.
This is because the product inadvertently detects a power outage when the power
is turned OFF, and does not indicate a malfunction. The error will disappear when
the [START/STOP] button is pressed, and operation starts.
If the power error is displayed after operation ends, a power outage likely
occurred.

If a blower error occurs, the screen display at

If a power outage occurs during operation, the product will turn off and stop operating.
The remaining sampling will continue after power is restored.
E.g.) If an 8 hour sampling period has been set, and a 1 hour power outage occurring
during this time, sampling will be delayed by 1 hour, but the full 8 hours of
sampling will be completed. (In this case, sampling will finish 9 hours after it
started.)

* If the power switch is turned off, this will be treated as a power outage, and “AC”
will be displayed in the error item field.

Relationship Between Error Display and Power Outages During Timer Operation
When a power outage occurred during the timer operation, the process is changed as
follows according to the situation at that time.

During standby ·······“AC” is displayed, but when the blower runs, the error disappears.
x Clock timer used
After the power is restored, if the operation start time has been exceeded, the
blower will start running immediately.
x Delay timer used
The time is counted even during the power outage. For example, if there are 30
minutes remaining, and a power outage occurs for 10 minutes, after power is
restored, the sampler will standby for the remaining 20 minutes.

During operation ·····“AC” is displayed, and a power outage is registered.

(See pages 30 and 32.)

After operations have ended···· “AC” is displayed but a power outage is not registered.

Calibration Methods
Flow Rate Calibration Method
Calibration is recommended to further improve the accuracy of sampling.
An optionally available standard flow meter can be attached to the sampler's intake
side. Calibration at the work site is simplified by using Sibata OF-1S orifice flow meter
(sold separately) as the standard flow meter (Rectangular adapter for orifice flow meter
is required. A commercially available USB cable is required for automatic calibration).
For calibration method by using OFD-1, refer to the OFD-1 operation manual.
(The Orifice flow meter OF-1S (Discontinued) is also usable as a standard flow meter.)
The following is manually calibration method by a using standard flow meter such us
OFD-1 or OF-1S.
1. In the calibration mode, set the flow rate span value to 1.000, and return the zero
value to 0.000.
2. Return to the main screen, and set the flow rate you wish to calibrate.
3. Press the [START/STOP] button, and start the high volume air sampler.
4. Record the standard flow meter value and the sampler's instantaneous flow rate display.
5. Calculate the span value. (See page 39.)
6. If you are performing a 2 point calibration, set the other flow rate, and proceed from step 3.
7. Switch to the calibration mode, and enter the obtained span value and zero value.
If you are only adjusting the accuracy of a particular flow rate, perform an one point
calibration.
If you are using the product at multiple flow rate values, perform either the 1 point
calibration before every sampling or the 2 point calibration.
For the 1 point calibration, only change the span value. For the 2 point calibration,
change both the span value and zero value.

* To improve the calibration accuracy, perform the calibration under actual sampling
conditions if possible.

Atmospheric Temperature Calibration Method

Calibration can similarly be performed with respect to the atmospheric temperature sensor.
Use a standard thermometer, and place it near the atmospheric temperature sensor.

1. In calibration mode, set the atmospheric temperature span value to 1.000, and
return the zero value to 0.000.
2. Set the mode display to atmospheric temperature display. (See page 27.)
3. Record the standard thermometer value and the equipment's atmospheric
temperature display.
4. Calculate the zero value. (See page 39.)
5. If you are performing the 2 point calibration, establish a different temperature
environment, and proceed from step 2.
6. Switch to calibration mode, and enter the obtained span value and zero value.

For the 1 point atmospheric temperature calibration, only change the zero value. If you
change the span value, this will adversely affect the accuracy.
For the 2 point calibration, change both the zero value and span value.
The temperature sensor region is not waterproof, so never perform atmospheric
temperature calibration when it is wet.

Atmospheric Pressure Calibration
Calibration can similarly be performed with respect to the atmospheric pressure sensor.
Prepare a standard pressure gage, remove the atmospheric pressure sensor tube, and
connect the gage.

1. In the calibration mode, set the atmospheric pressure span value to 1.000, and
return the zero value to 0.000.
2. Set the mode display to atmospheric pressure display. (See page 27.)
3. Record the value of standard atmospheric pressure gage and the sampler's
atmospheric pressure display value.
4. Calculate the zero value.
5. If you are performing the 2 point calibration, establish a different pressure, and
proceed from step 2.
6. Switch to the calibration mode, and enter the obtained span value and zero value.

1 Point and 2 Point Calibration

1 point calibration is an effective method for adjusting the accuracy of a given value. A
disadvantage however is that accuracy will actually be worsened if that value changes
significantly.
2 point calibration can be used to adjust accuracy across a calibration range. A
disadvantage however is that with parameters such as temperature, the preparation of
differing environmental conditions can be difficult.

Obtaining the Span Value and Zero Value in 1 Point Calibration

The span value and zero value are obtained from the following formulas:

Standard gage value

SPAN = ZERO = Standard gage value - Display value
Display value Or
For calibration with respect to a particular flow rate, accuracy will be improved by
changing the span value.
If you are performing the 1 point calibration with respect to constantly changing
temperature or pressure values, then accuracy will be improved by changing the zero
value.
* With 1 point calibration, change either the span value or the zero value. Never
change both values.

Obtaining the Span Value and Zero Value in 2 Point Calibration

The span value and zero value are obtained from the following formulas:

(Standard gage value 1 - Standard gage value 2)

SPAN =
(Display value 1 - Display value 2)

Standard gage value 1 ! Standard gage value 2

Display value 1 ! Display value 2

ZERO = Standard gage value 2 - Display value 2 u SPAN

Both the span value and zero value are changed in 2 point calibration.

Flow Rate Correction Method
This product can display a 20 qC 1 atmospheric pressure corrected flow rate, a 25 qC 1
atmospheric pressure corrected flow rate, a 0 qC 1 atmospheric pressure corrected
flow rate, or the actual flow rate. In addition, the blower can be controlled so as to
ensure that the flow rate display matches the configured flow rate. The flow rate is
calculated from the following flow rate formula, and correction is performed in
accordance with the selected flow rate correction method.

Qc: Flow rate calculated under standard conditions (L/min)

Qa: Actual flow rate (L/min)
Pa: Atmospheric pressure (hPa)
Ps: Standard atmospheric pressure (1013.25 hPa)
Ta: Atmospheric temperature (qC)
Ts: Standard temperature (qC)

The cumulative flow rate is calculated by summing the instantaneous flow rate units
corresponding to the selected flow rate correction method, in 1 second units.

Communications
Sampling data can be retrieved by connecting a PC using the USB port provided on the
product. No particular communications software is prepared, but products such as
HyperTerminal can be used.

A special USB driver is required for communications. The USB driver can be
downloaded from Sibata website:
(http://www.sibata.co.jp/technology/technology-27640/)
In addition, please refer to the online manual available at Sibata website for details on
